That’s because in a society without ‘political correctness’ and a ‘safety net’ but with a firm sense of law and order, Social Darwinism would wipe out the good-for-nothing population that lowers the quality of life, and push those border-line cases into becoming responsible citizens.
Half of what the government spends from the General Fund is going into maintaining that safety net. Without all that spending, people would either fail completely and die out, or get their act together. The safety net keeps them in a limbo where they are continually dependent on government handouts but free to roam around and ruin our quality of life.
“Without all that spending, people would either fail completely and die out, or get their act together. “
i think you’re missing a major point: these programs are jobs for worthless political hacks. these are useless individuals with idiotic credentials that suck at the government’s teats.
they have been, and will be a plague on any political system.
i could go on but, just visit some agency and request the services that they are supposed to provide.
